Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal on Thursday distributed five lakh tablets to students of government schools, claiming Haryana was the first State to do so as he launched the e-Adhigam scheme in Rohtak.
“Earlier, students of schools had to carry books in bags but from today, their books will be in this tab. In the New Education Policy, a target has been set to implement the scheme of providing education by adopting technology across the country and we are determined to implement it by 2025,” he said.
“Today, a big revolution has been initiated in the field of education. Till date, such a big campaign has not been done for the children of government schools in any other State of the country. No State in the country has distributed tablets to five lakh children at once. Haryana is the first such State. The e-Adhigam scheme will prove to be a milestone in the education sector. In the coming time, many more reforms will be done in the education sector,” Mr. Lal said, adding that COVID-19 had impacted the education sector and schools had to be closed, but now the tablet had become the new classroom.
